This sounds like a job for "Top Ten Man"!  By day, just a regular
guy... but when the needs calls he rips off his shirt to reveal his
hidden negligee... ooops ...his hidden SuperMan outfit with a big "10"
on his chest.

                     Top Ten Differences Between 
                          Seagate & Quantum

10.  Seagate thinks that "autopark" is a neat feature... in fact, they
might add it to some more of their models next year.

9.  Quantum gave a bad shipment to Apple and a lot of Mac geeks
couldn't deal.  Seagate gives everyone a bad shipment!

8.  The famous "Seagate ST251 stiction problem" happens 10 days after the
warrentee is over.  I've never seen a Quantum die.

7.  Seagate admitted they don't know anything about drives that are
large and high-speed so they bought Impress.  Quantum always made big,
fast hard drives.  Insiders claim that when they stamp the "Seagate"
sticker over the "Impress" label you can hear the drive cry, scream,
and it lowers its head in shame.

6.  Whenever a Seagate problem is reported on the net, someone
reposts a very long article describing exactly why not to buy Seagate
drives.  Gee, maybe we'll see that posting again.  (We just post that
weekly?)

5.  A Seagate customer is likely to be heard saying, "The 32meg
partition limit doesn't both me".  A Quantum user is likely to be
heard saying, "Hey, remember when 4 MIPS was a fast computer?"

4.  Seagate used to be considered a good drive... in the 70's I think.

3.  Seagate thinks that SCSI is "new".

2.  Quantum drives don't come with a sheet that says, "Warning: Do not
operate this drive upside-down."  Seagates do.

And the number one difference between Quantum and Seagate is:

1.  Madonna's ex-art dealer owns a Quantum!

(It's true!  It's true!)
